Are public university classes really taught by assistants, not profs?

<p>

Think again.</p>

<p>Pulling up a random department (anthro), I count at least four courses taught solely by graduate students (cultural anthropology, anthropological data analysis, human growth, and human universals).</p>

<p>Really, it’s astonishing how much people try to sweep it under the rug. When 20% of the classes in a department are being taught by graduate students, that is not an inconsiderable thing.</p>
